Glaucoma is the result of damage to the optic nerve. As this nerve gradually deteriorates, blind spots develop in your visual field. For reasons that doctors don't fully understand, this nerve damage is usually related to increased pressure in the eye.
The causes for elevated eye pressures are only partially known. In some individuals, a specific cause can be identified. High eye pressure is always related to some increased resistance or obstruction of the normal outflow of fluid inside the eye. Inside the eye, fluid is constantly being manufactured and has to drain from inside the eye. The pressure will only elevate if the drainage system in the eye is somehow not functioning properly. With injury or trauma, for example, the drainage system can be blocked in the eye, hopefully only temporarily. However, in most individuals with elevated eye pressure and glaucoma, the drainage system appears normal but is not functioning properly.
